Led by Denny McClain and his improbable 31 wins and 1.31 ERA, the 1968 Detroit Tigers won 103 out of 162 regular season games to finish first in their division. They met the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, which they won in a dramatic seven game series. This near-mint OAL Budig ball was signed at a recent team reunion by 30 players. The mostly blue ink signatures include Denny McClain (sweetspot), Al Kaline, Eddie Mathews, John Sain, Wayne Coomer, Dick McAuliffe, Gates Brown, Lenny Green, Roy Face, Jim Price, Pat Dobson, Jon Warden, Willie Horton, Dave Campbell, and others. The signatures rate between 8 and near 10. The autographs come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
